Accustomed as I am to read vituperative comments about me, as some received this morning, I find it sad that a number of Futureworker subscribers prefer to think in black-and-white terms.
If I write, for example, that I agreed with Thatcher's policy against over-powerful trade unions (which, in my home town destroyed several large industries, because of greed), this doesn't make me a Thatcherite. I disagreed with a great many of Thatcher's views and decisions, even with contempt. The world is complex. We really cannot afford to think in black-and-white terms -- labelling individuals irrevocably as being in one camp or another. This way lies disaster. We need rational discussion, and if some resort to personal attack then, to my mind, it shows that they don't have rational arguments.
